The next day, Yun Yan woke up feeling sore in her back and waist. She felt she couldn't take it anymore, so she decided to find a lighter job, like cutting grass for pigs.
She is so tired even though it is not the busy farming season yet. She can't imagine what the scene will be like when the summer and autumn harvests come.
Qian Qian, who had difficulty getting up, had even more trouble than Yun Yan. After breakfast, he prepared to go to work.
Chen Zhaodi made breakfast today, which was just sweet potato porridge, the kind made with two sweet potatoes, a few grains of rice and a bowl of water.
When Liu Defu started assigning tasks, Yun Yan raised her hand and said, "Captain, I want to go pick grass for the pigs."
Liu Defu glanced at Yun Yan and said, "Cutting grass for pigs only yields three centimeters a day. Are you sure you want to go? If you don't have enough work points when the grain is distributed at the end of the year, the brigade won't lend you any more grain."
In the past, there were also educated youth who, when they first arrived, clamored to go and pick grass for pigs. But when the food was distributed, there was not enough food, so they started clamoring and asking the team to borrow food for fun.
Liu Defu felt that he had to make it clear to him in advance, so that he wouldn't throw a tantrum in the brigade if there wasn't enough food when the food was distributed later.
"Don't worry, Captain. I will definitely not borrow grain from the team by the end of the year." Yun Yan said quickly.
"Well, then, just go to the back mountain. My grandson Huzi is also there, you should know him."
"If you don't know what pigweed looks like, let my grandson teach you. Don't make the wrong choice."
Liu Defu felt that Yun Yan should not be the kind of person who was short of money. After all, there were not many people who could come up with two hundred yuan at a time to build a house.
The team leader had no objection but some people couldn't accept it: "Why can she cut grass for pigs? We are all new educated youth. Why is she the only one who can do the easy work? Team leader, did you accept benefits from Yunyan?" Chen Zhaodi said fearlessly.
Yun Yan really admired her courage. She had to stay here for at least five years, and she actually dared to slander the captain in front of so many people and embarrass him.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Yun Zhiqing just say that he wouldn't borrow food from the team at the end of the year? If you can guarantee that you won't borrow food from the team at the end of the year, you can go and pick grass for the pigs."
Liu Defu was very angry about being wrongly accused for no reason. These educated youth were more troublesome than each other.
Chen Zhaodi saw that the team leader was angry and immediately turned the gun to point at Yun Yan. "Yun Zhiqing, we are all here to receive education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. What you are doing is capitalist behavior."
Chen Zhaodi was jealous of Yunyan. Why could she live such a good life? She could even choose easy jobs after coming to the countryside. Li Shuwan said that she was even planning to build her own house and move out.
As for herself, her family was in a tight financial situation. Not only did she have to go to the countryside to replace her brother, but her parents also asked her to send food back home when she arrived. Since she couldn't go, Yunyan had no chance of going either.
The villagers who were about to go to work stopped and looked at Yun Yan after hearing what Chen Zhaodi said.
Yun Yan felt that she must not let Chen Zhaodi off this time and must teach her a lesson, so that people would not think that she was easy to bully. Thinking of this, Yun Yan looked at Chen Zhaodi with anger in her eyes.
Yun Yan walked briskly up to Chen Zhaodi, threw her to the ground over her shoulder, and then sat astride her.
"Pa pa pa" several slaps hit her face. Chen Zhaodi struggled to get up and wanted to grab Yun Yan's face with her hands. Yun Yan was prepared and held her down with one hand.
"Chen Zhaodi, have I given you face? I've been patient and not arguing with you, but you just took advantage of me. You really think I don't have a temper, right?"
After that, he slapped her a few more times. "Today, I'll show you whether I'm easy to mess with. You dare to call me a capitalist? I'll smash your mouth into pieces."
Liu Defu, the educated youth and the villagers were all stunned when they saw Yun Yan beating someone. They only came to their senses when they heard Chen Zhaodi's cry for help.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pull them apart."
Liu Defu was the first to react and immediately sent someone to separate the fight.
Soon, several female educated youth and several aunts came up and grabbed Yunyan.
"Alright Yun Zhiqing, stop hitting her. You'll hurt her soon."
After being helped up from the ground, Chen Zhaodi immediately went to find Liu Defu and cried, "Captain, look at what Yunyan did to me. You have to take care of me."
I'm not the boss of you, you deserve to be beaten for your bad mouth.
"Who allowed you to fight? Yun Yan and Chen Zhao Di will each have 5 centimeters deducted from their marks."
"Okay, Captain." Yun Yan said indifferently, but she was already cursing in her heart. Damn it, the five work points she earned yesterday after working like a dog were all deducted in an instant. If she had known earlier, she should have hit Chen Zhaodi a few more times. It was a complete waste of money.
Chen Zhaodi was dissatisfied. She was beaten and her work points were deducted: "Captain, this is unfair. It was Yunyan who beat me. Why are you deducting my work points?"
Liu Defu saw that she was so angry that she even dared to question him: "Didn't you cause this? You delayed so many people's work time. I'm lucky I don't hold you accountable."
"And you guys, why are you waiting here for work? Waiting for food to fall from the sky."
When the educated youth and villagers heard that the team leader was angry, they quickly left and went to the land allocated to them.
Liu Defu looked at Yun Yan and Chen Zhaodi and said, "What are you two still standing there for? It's really like one bad apple spoils the whole barrel."
"Captain, I'm not a rat. I'm going to the back mountain to pick grass for the pigs." Yun Yan said and ran away immediately.
Seeing Chen Zhaodi still standing there, Liu Defu instantly became furious: "Chen Zhiqing, what are you still doing here? You're not going to work yet, so you don't plan on getting your work points today, right?"
After hearing this, Chen Zhaodi walked to the land allocated to her in indignation.
Yunyan trotted back to the Youth League Home, got a backpack, and hurried to the back mountain with the backpack on her back.
It’s all Chen Zhaodi’s fault, that idiot. If she hadn’t wasted my time, I would have started collecting pig grass a long time ago. I might have collected half a basket of pig grass by now.
Yun Yan was already out of breath when she ran to the foot of the mountain. She quickly took out the water bottle from her backpack and took a few gulps.
After resting for a while, they immediately walked up the mountain. Not long after, they saw a group of laughing children cutting grass for pigs. Yun Yan saw Hu Zi in yellow clothes at a glance.
Hu Zi also saw Yun Yan and ran towards her happily.
"Beautiful sister, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"
"Yes, I'm here to ask you to help me cut grass for the pigs. Are you willing to teach me?"
"Don't worry, pretty sister. I will definitely teach you. I also know where there is the most pig grass. I will take you there."
Hu Zi came up and took Yun Yan's hand as he spoke, and went to his little friend.
